Hey, good-lookin'! Have a royal day! Just doing my yearly check-in, apparently. Have y'all been naughty or nice the past twelve months? I'm glad things are still chugging along here, always good to see new art drop. It reminds me of a simpler time.

if you happen to see this, my account is locked somehow and i can't get in!

Still alive and kickin' after all these years. Nice to see you are too, GD. :)

Yo, S and nichie! I just reset your user flags, if you can still log in, you should be good to go.

hooray! thank you!

Still alive! I wouldn't say I've been nice though :P I love the internet, and this place. Thanks for keeping it alive GD.

beautiful work Roy

Thanks for always keep posting. I remember when I was a shy kid in secondary watch this oekaki to saw your fantastic draws and lurk another artists too.
Damn, it was long time ago, seriously, don't stop posting and this oekaki is epic.

Him gots no noze heheh lol cool piece

Looks like we've reached a sort of event horizon for oekaki! ChickenPaint is still working, but it seems like everyone's moved on from this style of BBS. Bummer! I'll leave the board operational for as long as it continues to function. And probably longer, just so the pictures can stay up. Dunno if anyone still lurks anymore, but if you do... HELLO! How are you? What's Ruby singing about? It probably sounds like a cat being dragged backwards across a blackboard.

I still look every day.. dont give up... 2draw was suffering from the java death..and was brought back with Cheerpj... a couple new applets were added... Kleki, chicken paint, and lascaux 2...in addition the old ones still work there too.. now people have been coming back...

Believe it or not I'm still lurking around too, and I just sent you a message to see how things are as well. Glad to see some new art from you GD, lovely work! :)

I still check the site every once in a while. So many good artists used to post here. Nice to see that at least E! is still around.

Yeah... ever since social media came along, individual web sites have been drying up. Not just oekaki, but blogs and everything else. My oekaki gets about 10 unique people a month, down from a few hundred a decade ago. There's no way to solve that problem. Search engines just don't take you to small sites anymore. I'm still maintaining Wacintaki, though. A new version of ChickenPaint is available, and it supposedly fixes a few more tablet pressure issues. I'm testing it now.

Once in a while I visit my favorite oekaki sites. Many are dead, but some are still alive. Nice to see a new one here.

Huh. Still some signs of life!

I still visit, albeit with unreliable frequency. I'm glad to see the commitment to keeping it on life support as long as possible. I suppose I should try out ChickenPaint.

Please keep this oekaki alive, I always lurking heren since many years ago but this is my first time post.
Thanks for our work.

Love the facial expressions!

oh hey it's me, i'm back on my bullshit

I've lurked here for 17 years, since a few artists I liked were posting here (and it was astonishing how much you could do with the crude oekaki tools), and I just want to say that I'm glad that people still use this site.

Even if it's something like 4 posts a year, it's fun to check back every once in a while to see something new. It feels like I'm back in 2005, feeling that same joy when you check a site over and over just to see if it updated, back before phones and social media made us lazy by bringing updates directly to us, making them feel much less special.

Anyway, nice pic.
Just keeping track of which hand goes under which one is impressive by itself.

I agree with TK! Gosh, I've always loved your stuff, and I especially love everything about this. Never stop posting <3
